They revealed Persian's Alola form, and I thought it looked ridiculous, so I tried to make my own design for it. Took a little under an hour. Posted it earlier on twitter, but this version is slightly revised.

Might not be any better, but I tried to retain the themes of its backstory. Was going for a "rich" cat with a nonchalant attitude. Wanted to make it look pampered.

I don't plan on doing other Alolan forms, but who knows? Maybe I'll get inspired.

As many others already said, this both makes more sense based on the little bit of lore found on the website, and also personally seems like the more logical change from Alolan Meowth. It might be a matter of poor choice of eyes for the official art, as these "calm but still sly" ones also tie it into its base form more closely.

Now it's a matter of time for someone to step up and fix the Alolan Geodude line...

A lot more effort went into this one. It definitely has more features that compliment the whole rich cat idea instead of a color change and face-swap. Yet again, another fan-creation I prefer more than the real one.
